modules

• construction module (upgrade ship, create stations which perform module functions better and cheaper)
• weapons modules
• communication module (various ranges of tx/rx, encryption of messages)
• some sort of energy / fuel mechanic for all processes, solar panels if stranded
• bookmarking objects (e.g. stations, estimates position & velocity outside navigation)
• hacking modules to disable other modules
• some sort of armor / shield module
• tractorbeam has range of effectiveness

world

• tiers of minerals, modules
• collisions
• figure how position floats overflow and how to improve it
• figure out spawning
• figure out some sort of dynamic zone system
• figure out other bodies (planets, suns, n-body simulation?)
• some sort of faction system so multiple accounts pool their scores together

nice to haves

• pretty dashboard
• more cli parsing stuff
• website with leaderboards, documentation, account stuff for main server
• open server api with documentation so people can develop their own clients
• server ability to quit and import/export all current data
• have something like lightshope donation page
• give tractorbeam client bring option ability to choose desired distance
• make constants file some way of being global and read on run so you can give it faster sleep paramters for tests
